Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a very fun and interesting Willys The frame is a 1959 Willys CJ3A. The body tub is a good quality reproduction. The engine is the highly desirable Buick 231CID V6 in good running condition with LOTS of power. The transmission is a manual 4 speed. The transfer case is single stick. The front axle is open Knuckle. The steering has been upgraded. Brakes are 11 inch. The gas tank is a big one under the rear floor….”
Here’s a rough CJ-2A out of Michigan. Not many pics.
“This 1948 Willy was bought by my husband 25 years ago as a project. He bought all the parts so he could build it to his ideal, then he got sick and now can’t work on it. It has been in the garage all these years. He has new leaf springs, a 68 v6 cj motor( I think I got that right) it ran when he put it up years ago, another frame and much more. There is a little rust not much. If there is any other questions please contact me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Needs brake work. 4×4 works well. No top. New fuel pump, plugs, wires, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
This is certainly a beautiful CJ-2A. However, it’s not fully restored to original condition. One of the obvious issues is the CJ-3A windshield it sports.
“Fully restored to original except for 12 Volt vice original 6 Volt system. $10,000 OBO. The Willys CJ2A was the first mass-produced Jeep intended for the civilian market, began production on July 17, 1945. Civilian Jeeps evolved from the model MB of World War Two fame.”
This seems a surprising price on a nice looking CJ-5. The tires are a little big for my tastes, but otherwise this looks great.
“chevy v8 new dana 44 diffs mini spool in the rear. top load 4 spd. 38″ tires for sale or make take a trade or partial trade. Call or text to 1-308-289-4832. Have a title for the jeep but can’t find the vin plate.”
Here’s a craigslist Ad from India located by the ewillys Michigan Bureau, which apparently operates an international bureau as well. The current exchange rate of 0.0209337 puts the price at $2093.37.
“Selling a Mahindra CJ4 with a perkins 4 engine. The jeep is in very good condition and is ideal for someone who would like to use it for off roading. I’ve attached a few pictures also. I used it in Nilgiris, but as am now moved to Calicut, have no use for it. For more info, call me on 9496221206”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4699
“TThis is my 1951 Willys M38 military Jeep. The jeep runs great and drives great. It does not smoke, and starts right up anytime. The brakes work great as well. The body is extremely solid for the age of the Jeep. I absolutely hate to sell this Jeep. I had it for sale a while back, and after getting numerous calls I decided not to sell. I am not desperate, so please. No LOWBALLERS. These are getting very hard to find, and if you would like one to restore, or just to enjoy as is, this is the one. If you have questions give me a call or email, and I will respond ASAP. “
In memory to his Uncle Bill, a Brit named Simon, living in Colorado at the moment, has decided to paint his Willys 1943 MB in the marking of the unit his uncle commanded at the end of World War II.
His Uncle Bill, Lt. Colonel Charles William Arnot MC, OBE, TD, served in the Royal Army Medical Corps as a Field Surgeon in the British 50th (Tyne Tees) Division. Uncle Bill served through the dark days of 1939/1940 through to the liberation of Germany in 1945 eventually commanding 186th Field Ambulance.
His Uncle Bill died in the 1980’s when he was still young, and didn’t leave many mementos from his time in the War. So, Simon has pieced together the correct unit markings, together with history of the regiments progress through WWII from the internet, books, talking to family members and those items left by his Great Aunt.
As a result of this search, Simon has produced a PDF that documents his Uncle’s time during the war and decided to apply markings to his jeep which represent the unit his Great Uncle commanded in WWII, 186 Field Ambulance, part of the British 50th (Tyne Tees) Division.
Below is how Simon appllied the markings and below that an image of his jeep.
Thanks for sharing Simon!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Given the original, raw nature of this wagon plus the overdrive, I’d say this might be a pretty good find.
“I have a mint 1949 wagon 2×4 that is totally unmolested. No additional holes drilled anywhere and still has the insulation on the firewall, etc. Even has the original radio with it. Will make a beautiful restore. Have five absolutely mint hubcaps, and a ton of extra parts. Have spare bumpers, wrap arounds rebuilt engine and a spare engine. Have a new headliner, all new panels for entire vehicle, etc, etc.”
The Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union is sponsoring a 2009 Woodward Dream Cruise Calender Contest, along with the Oakland Press, The Macomb Daily and Daily Tribune. As a part of this contest, the group has developed a website where readers can vote for the cars they want to see on the new Calendar.
A reader pointed to this contest out to me via a craigslist ad. The Ad shows a Willys Jeep and asks people to vote for the jeep. So far, so good. I’m into it.
I’m ready to launch a grassroots campaign. I’ll encourage, prod and poke people to cast their votes for the jeep. We can do it. We can get it on the calendar.
My hopes high, I go to the actual contest. I view the approved list of 72 vehicles. Cool, lots of nice vehicles.
But then, I spot the jeep. It’s listed as a 1948 M-38A1. It’s such a classic, that it was never produced! How can this be? Oh the horror! I mean, this isn’t just some kind of incorrect listing of a jeep for sale; instead, it is supposed to be a list of classic cars.
Well, I just can’t support that. So, until the correct model gets listed, I can’t vote for it.
